Now it's restored and used as souvenir shops for tourists. It's located in the corner of Kemeralti bazaar area in the center of Izmir and offers intersting stuff to both tourists and locals. The architecture of the building is also amazing. There are also several coffee shops around, just outside of the building, where you can sit and enjoy the traditional Turkish coffee or black tea.

Back in the day, when I used to live in Izmir as an exchange student, walking around Konak Pier was…read moreone of my favorite things to do. I'd meet my friends there for lunch (usually in Burger King as we did not have a lot of money to spend on the nicer places). It is a very sophisticated and small shopping mall located right in the center of the city, that used to have a great bookstore (not sure it is still there) and a bunch of cool (and expensive) brand stores. It may even have a cinema (I can't remember for sure and even if I did, it has been eight years, so that may have changed too). The thing I loved the most about it is that it is kind of open and the corridors are very large so you don't feel as if you are confined, something that usually happens to me when I go to other more traditional shopping malls. There are a bunch of really nice restaurants too, and you can sit there and appreciate the amazing view of the sea while you wait for your order to come.

Anyway, this was the first place I went to see a movie while in Izmir. I saw 300 back in the day. I went to a movie there last year also. Still just as nice. They have sweet love seat style couch seats for 2 people. It's like watching a move at home! There's an Italian restaurant, a steak restaurant & a sushi place...they are all good.
